Description
Experience the timeless magic of Stevie Wonder's iconic "Songs in the Key of Life" vinyl record, released in 1976 under Tamla Records with catalog number T13-340C2. This double LP set includes a bonus 33 RPM 7" disc and a lyrics booklet, perfect for any true fan of Stevie's brand of funk and soul music
Both of the vinyl LP discs as well as the 7" disc are graded excellent (EX). The gatefold LP cover has some visible shelf wear and ring wear and has done a great job protecting the vinyl and the lyric booklet, but given the wear it's graded very good (VG). Please see the detailed photos included in this listing.
The record features Stevie Wonder's iconic voice and unmatched musical talent, making it a must-have for any vinyl collection.
From Wikipedia... Songs in the Key of Life was released as a double LP with a four-song bonus EP. It debuted at number one on the Billboard Pop Albums Chart, becoming only the third album to achieve that feat, and the first by an American artist. Both the lead single "I Wish" and follow-up single "Sir Duke" reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The album spent thirteen consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard 200, becoming the album with the most weeks at number one during the year, and was the second-best-selling album of 1977 in the US. In 2005, the album was certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), indicating sales of 5 million units for a double album.
The album won Album of the Year at the 19th Grammy Awards and is the best-selling and most critically acclaimed album of Wonder's career. Widely regarded as his magnum opus and one of the greatest albums in the history of recorded music, many musicians have remarked on the quality of the album and its influence on their own work; indeed, some notable musicians have named it as the greatest album of all time.
I played both sides of this LP completely through on my audio-technica AT-LP60XBT turntable without issues. It sounds great and includes several signature Stevie Wonder tunes including "Isn't She Lovely" and "I Wish". This is amazing historical music from nearly 50 years ago!
